Monday Morning Roundup
By Starting the week off with some lazy blogging:
- Read Duck of Minerva’s daily roundup. I get most of this stuff from them, anyway.
- What are navies good for: Africa edition.
- Scalzi on Reddit, trolls, and the “highly constrained” popular understanding of the term “free speech.
- Andrew Erickson and Gabe Collins on how bloody difficult it is to run an aircraft carrier.
- Minxin Pei on how a difficult domestic economic situation may affect Chinese foreign policy.
- I am still kind of enjoying Homeland despite the utter, unnecessary botching of US intelligence community bureaucracy.
- How long would it take Japan to go nuclear? Depends on what you mean.
- Are U.S.-Russia relations much better than the atmospherics suggest?
